What pupils study in Religious Studies

Knowledge · dialogue · feedback · mastery

The course develops religious beliefs, ethical questions and reasoned evaluation of different perspectives. The current Pearson specification, entry route and assessment arrangements govern each cohort and are confirmed by the school.

  • Religious practice and identity

  • Ethics and contemporary issues

  • Comparison, analysis and evaluation

02

How live teaching supports progress

Teachers explain ideas, question pupils and respond to misconceptions in real time. Guided practice, independent work and feedback make the next step visible before gaps become established.

03

Assessment and examination preparation

Pupils learn the knowledge and skills defined by the current specification, practise applying them to unfamiliar material and prepare for formal Pearson Edexcel assessment. The school confirms the relevant papers, examination series and entry arrangements.

04

Progression after International GCSE

Subject choices are considered as a complete programme. Results, interests and later university or career intentions inform the move into International A Levels or another suitable post-16 route.

05

Is Religious Studies the right choice?

Respectful discussion, accurate knowledge and the ability to compare arguments fairly are valuable. Final option combinations depend on the current timetable, sufficient demand and the academic team’s confirmation.
